Show

About 40 minutes into part 1 JP says that one of his remaining ambitions is to get all of The Fall sessions out as a box set. This did not happen during his lifetime, although it has done since.

According to the announcement by Peel, the line-up for Ultramarine's second session included the legendary Jimmy Hastings guesting on sax and flute, who had appeared on many Canterbury scene bands' albums

American-born British TV chef Loyd Grossman is heard singing the line "I don't want to be a rusty suit of armour", on a track by Ultimate Spinach, one of the Boston bands promoted by US record companies in 1968 as rivals to the San Francisco groups of the time. Before emigrating to the UK and making his name on TV, Grossman had also been an Anglophile rock critic for the magazine Fusion, although this phase of his career doesn't appear in his Wikipedia profile.

Two other oddities: "Santa Claus Goes Modern", and the second track Peel plays from Harvey Sid Fisher's "Astrology Songs" LP

JP complains about Ken Garner’s ‘wretched’ book and people using it to catch him out. He had claimed (incorrectly) the previous week that Uzeda would be the first Italian band to record a session for the programme and a number of people had written in to correct him. (Isector)
